Overview

Whether he is working with world-famous clothing retailers, AI-based search engine companies, or indie record labels, Nate brings experience across all disciplines of intellectual property to his practice. Clients seek out his pragmatic, straightforward counsel that incorporates their risk tolerance and business objectives as he navigates federal district court litigations, or opposition and cancellation proceedings and ex parte appeals before the TTAB. Established companies and startups alike rely on Nate as a trusted advisor, and a one-stop shop for patent, trademark, copyright, and litigation issues.

His software background lends a high-tech focus to his practice. He has handled matters involving a variety of technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning in the areas of computer vision, identity authentication, and text analytics.
